What else do I need to do please?

Thanks

    The last time kiwisdr.com saw a registration request from http://93.89.254.25:8073 was on August 18. Are you sure this Kiwi is running and has a connection to the Internet? What happens when you use the "check port open" button on the network tab of the admin page?

    Also, is this simply a case of your ISP having changed your public ip address? (since you've taken no measures it seems to guard against that possibility).
  • The IP has changed since then as I moved the location slightly. The new permanent IP is http://185.178.64.39:8073

    Thanks
  • You have severe local networking problems. From your Kiwi I can ping your router, but nothing beyond that. Not even numerically (e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 which should work). Given that fact I don't understand how incoming connections are even working.

    For example, from the Internet you can visit http://185.178.64.39:8073/status and get the correct response. But your Kiwi cannot contact kiwisdr.com at all because it can't even reach its own DNS server!

    So this is not a Kiwi problem and you'll need to find your own solution.
  • OK a routing issue I guess. I will check routes in the router.
    Thanks for checking.
  • Actually can you tell me how to initiate a ping from the Kiwi, so I can check if its working?
    -Thanks.
  • Admin page, console tab, click "connect" button.
    In "enter shell command" below type "ping 8.8.8.8" or "ping kiwisdr.com" (or google.com or something).
    Type control-C to stop command if no response.
  • I get "only available to local admin connections". And I'm not local to it!
  • Did you mean to write "am local to it" instead of "am not"?

    Is your device running the browser on the same 192.168.10.xxx subnet as the Kiwi? That's what it is checking for.
  • This stuff is so complicated now that even I forget how it works.

    If you are connecting to the admin page of a remote Kiwi over the Internet (i.e. not from the same local network as the Kiwi) then the "console" tab functionality is disabled as a security measure. The rationale was that if your Kiwi admin password was leaked or guessed then it would be better if all the bad guy could do was change your Kiwi configuration rather than also have Beagle root shell access.

    The better solution is to use ssh as the transport mechanism for the admin console tab. I worked on that for a while but had implementation problems and never finished the work..
  • Hi, yes I am NOT on the same subnet as the Kiwi. The Kiwi is in a field a mile from my house!
    Is there anyway I can do a ping, or see if the outgoing route is working remotely?
    How is the Kiwi registering if it cannot see the outside world?

    Thanks.
  • Going back to my very first post in this thread: Try the "check port open" button on the admin page network tab. If after a while you get an error (e.g. "Error checking port status") then you know the Kiwi cannot communicate with kiwisdr.com due to the issue.

    How is the Kiwi registering if it cannot see the outside world?
    It's not registering. Isn't the whole point of this?
  • Has this Kiwi ever registered since it's been at its remote location? I.e. since August 18th when kiwisdr.com last saw it? Or was Aug 18th the last time it was at your local location hooked up to your local network?
  • 18th was the last time the unit was at my home QTH. The admin control panel shows that it IS registered! (see screenshot attached).

    I will try to check the routing in the router today.

    Thanks for your help.

    That seems to be a bug. I switched registration off, then on again. It sat there for many minutes (like it wasn't able to connect to kiwisdr.com) then finally said the registration was successful. But there was this error message in the log:
    Thu Aug 20 17:26:29 10:14:12.510 0... _reg_kiwisdr_com: sp == NULL?
    So this particular error condition is not being reported properly on the admin page. The logs on kiwisdr.com show absolutely no incoming connections from this Kiwi's ip address (from the new remote location).

    This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. From kiwisdr.com I can do a: curl http://185.178.64.39:8073/status And it will connect and return the expected data.

    But if you initiate even the simplest connection from the Kiwi (TCP SYN) it will stop dead on the second hop. I don't see that 10.x.x.x local network in the reverse (incoming) direction if I do a traceroute from the outside. This is definitely some horrible network misconfiguration. Is this site on the end of a wireless link or something? Who is airwire.ie? Is this their fault?

  • Airwire.ie are the ultimate internet connection. But the connection is actually like this:
    Kiwi connected to a Mikrotik LT AP (192.168.10.1), which has a cellular SIM. Because the cell company do not give a static IP, I have a VPN set up so the Mikrotik uses the cell connection to tunnel to the VPN server (at Airwire), which gives me a static public IP.
  • It seems as if there is a problem with an outgoing route in the Mikrotik. Its hard for me to check as I'm not local to it, I will ask the admin of the VPN (who is a friend) to check it from his end. He may be able to see where the route is missing. I will report later!
  • As I tried out on security tab set to enable restrictions on console on local to "no" and restart server should work.

    However I am not familar with the specific syntax yet. Where to learn? Thx.

  • Are you asking what the syntax is for Linux shell commands you enter in the admin console window?

    Well, that's not a topic we can teach you about here really. If you are new to an operating system like Linux, or a Linux distribution like Debian, then that's something you'll have to study yourself. It's a huge topic that has nothing to do with software radios directly.

    Maybe I misunderstood your question?

  • Thanks for insight, but basically I do not know, wether I am "landed" on "root" correctly. How does the prompt looks like correctly. I presume the procedure will be similar to some router configuration. And of course, some commands in order to get on to the system memory (ROMMON) cannot performed remotely. The "send break" command for instance. On temninal programs like TeraTerm or PuTTy you can perform "send break" only connected physically to the console port of the router on working place. This prevents from misuse. On KiWi's console one uses the LAN-Port connected to local as a console port. This is a great advantage and prevents from potentially misuse.

    For instance for some routers I have to change level from router#> to level lower by typing "enable". Only then I am on the programming level. If this is not necessary using KiWi, we do not have any concearn.

  • Okay, so I did misunderstand. Sorry.

    The admin console tab always gives you a privileged root shell. Not an unprivileged one that you might get from a login to the "debian" account.
